the analysis of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism in intron 4 with hypertension disease
nitric oxide is an important vasorelaxant factor that it inhibits platelet adhesion and proliferation of smooth muscle cells. no is synthesized from l-arginine by means of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) which is an isoform of nitric oxide synthase.in the present study, we examined possible association between the 27 base pair (bp) repeat polymorphism in intron 4 of the enos3 gene ...
متن کاملComputational Prediction of the Effects of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of the Gene Encoding Human Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Genetic variations in the gene encoding endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) enzyme affect the susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. Identification of the way these changes affect eNOS structure and function in laboratory conditions is difficult and time-consuming. Thus, it seems essential to ...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and renal survival.
To the Editor: Development of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and a blunted in vitro generation of nitric oxide (NO) have been recently associated with the 298Asp substitution in the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) gene.1 Diabetic nephropathy was the culprit of ESRD in most patients (pts);1 however, the same association was recently reported in pts with ESRD due to polycystic kidney disease.2 Col...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms in giant cell arteritis.
OBJECTIVE To examine potential associations of the Glu/Asp(298) polymorphism in exon 7 and the 4a/b polymorphism in intron 4 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene with susceptibility to and clinical expression of giant cell arteritis (GCA), particularly in patients with versus those without ischemic complications. METHODS Ninety-one consecutive patients with biopsy-proven GCA, ...
متن کاملAssociation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene G894T polymorphism with type two diabetes and diabetic nephropathy
Background: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mediates a large range of processes, and abnormality in the production of NO has been implicated in diabetic complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN). G894T polymorphism in the eNOS gene has been shown to decreased activity the NO levels of plasma. The association between eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism and DN ri...
